Johannes Vermeer's The Art of Painting circa 1668 Magnet

A Classic Baroque Painting, artwork that has passed into the public domain and makes wonderful gifts and other products. Here, a young woman poses for a painter while holding a trombone. Typically, she is the centre of the work, while the painter faces away from us and his face is unseen. Johannes (or Jan, or Johan) Vermeer was a Dutch Baroque painter who is known for his distinctive palette of blue and yellow. Van Gogh was influenced and quite intrigued by Vermeer, calling him a "strange painter" whose palette "consists of blue, cornflower yellow , pearl grey, black and white." Vermeer's work typically shows portraits and scenes from domestic life, and he has gone from obscurity to becoming one of the most admired painters of his era. All of our products are made with large scale images that have been carefully edited to provide the best resolution, colour and detail possible.
